Overview
org.eclipse.jetty.aggregate:jetty-webapp is a lightweight highly scalable java based web server and servlet engine.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Cryptographic Issues. It computes hash values for form parameters without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) by sending many crafted parameters.
